Once we were here,we discovered the 9 3/4% Sales tax. It's even on Food.
All those Retirement sites only give you the up side, not the down.
Rule of thumb,we discovered Tennessee is no cheaper to live than Good Old FLA.

I'll bet that hurricane insurance is cheaper in Tennessee than it is in Florida. It was certainly cheaper in New Mexico than what we paid when we lived near the Florida coast. Not really an issue here in TV.
